Two years ago I bought myself a pair of your leather chaps. Priced reasonably well, I was curious as to the quality I would get. Not only was the phone support staff super knowledgable in helping me size my chaps correctly, I was amazed at the quality of the product.

I have worn them all over the country and people are amazed at how soft, yet durable and well fitting these chaps are.

My next purchase was for my wife last year. We were going on a trip and she needed a jacket. Needless to say she waited until the last minute, and like most women, wanted to order the size SHE wanted the jacket to be.

Well after receiving the jacket (Women’s Motorcycle Classic I), it was too tight. She called, and “no problem, we’ll send the next size right out” was what she was told! Not only did she get the next size jacket by the time we needed it, we still had the original order on it’s way back to you.

The service you offer is outstanding and the quality of the products are excellent. People who see and touch that jacket are amazed at the quality and the price!

I plan on treating myself to a nice leather jacket, from you of course, later this year! Thanks for being and excellent American company.

In writing Fox Creek, Craig mentioned his son, Albert, returning home from Iraq. This is not a political commentary, but a tribute and introduction to one bright young Marine and his family.

As parents of a Marine who is coming home after his third tour of duty in Iraq, you bet we are proud to wear your products that proudly display the American flag! That flag or the Marine flag flies over our house 365 days a year!

Albert is in aviation support with the Marines. He did plenty of security patrols in Iraq, as well as travelling to different bases by helicopter to train other units. Sounds cool, but we lived with fear everyday he was away. If we didn’t hear from him for a few days, of course we started to get nervous. At least this time he had access to e-mail and the phone now and then. His first two tours all we had were letters and they took two weeks either way!

The military has been a great experience and learning tool for him. He has matured so much it makes us both so proud. Granted he was a good student and a good kid when he joined, but this has made him a man. He is now planning on getting out in October, coming home to Florida and becoming an EMT. He is taking classes and he will do it, as he’s that type of person that once he sets his mind to it, he’ll make it through.

Nuttin’ But Leather

Nuttin’ But Leather started out like most other businesses…. a dream…. a day dream actually. Cruisin’ down highway 70 in St. Louis, MO on my ‘04 Heritage Classic. I think the clearest with the road under my feet, and that day was no different. For awhile I had been thinking about starting a business but never put forth any real effort. Then, on that beautiful day in April I realized I needed to do something… but what? I did have some website building experience, but what to sell? Leather… it had to be leather. So I researched and found that there was a demand for many types of good quality leather products (and I knew I wouldn’t want to compete with Paul and Co. at Fox Creek Leather). So, I began selling leather products like briefcases and backpacks… luggage and totebags… padfolios and gifts too.

After learning a few things about marketing an internet website, which we’re improving all of the time, we are making our dream come true. Life is too short not to live out YOUR version of the dream. It’s waiting for you, but YOU have to get it. One of my favorite quotes is from a movie titled “Boondock Saints” (great movie). It goes “Do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith to go as far as needed”. It’s your dream, do you?

Motorcycle Touring Made Easy

Motorcycle touring has been something my wife Judy and I have loved doing for quite some time now. We’ve been touring since 2001 and are heavily involved with the Gold Wing Road Rider’s Association. A recent trip to the Rocky Mountains spawned us to help others enjoy motorcycle touring as we do. From that we created Motorcycle-Touring-Made-Easy.com, a website designed for those looking for information and resources about motorcycle touring. We’ve been up and running since October of 2007 and have been expanding the site every moment we can. The site is filled with information to get you started planning and setting up your motorcycle trip. The future of our site will include Local Area Reports, Rider Profiles, Dream Rides, B&B Listing and Product Reviews.
With our love for motorcycling, a bike and trailer ready to go when the itch get to be too much to bare you can bet we’ll be out on the road making more friends and finding more areas to ride. We encourage others to stop by and brag about their favorite trip, best places to stay or a good fireside story. We want to make this a site for you, the motorcycle touring enthusiast. Stop on by, we would love to hear from you. We hope to see you all out on the road somewhere.
